Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has 26 times the campaign cash Tudor Dixon does

LANSING, Mich. — Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer reported Thursday having $14 million available in her campaign fundraising account, 26 times the total disclosed by her Republican opponent Tudor Dixon, $523,930.

The new campaign finance filings from Whitmer and Dixon cover from July 18 through Aug. 22, 78 days before Election Day. The numbers raised concerns about the ability of Dixon to get her message out to voters this fall, political observers said. She will be the top Republican on the ticket in a key battleground state.

"Campaigns cost money, and she doesn't have any," said Adrian Hemond, CEO of the Lansing-based political consulting firm Grassroots Midwest. "I can't put it any plainer than that."
